Cleanroom screwdrivers are engineered for controlled environments, where an ordinary tool is a particle source sitting on your bench. Mountz cleanroom torque screwdrivers use a low-outgassing powder coat, dynamic wear-resistant internal seals and a protective polyurethane sleeve to minimise particle generation, and they withstand water and isopropyl-alcohol (IPA) cleaning. Therefore they suit Singapore’s semiconductor, optics, medical-device and precision-cleanroom assembly lines.
The Mountz FG-CR range
Phil Industries supplies the FG-CR cleanroom range in Singapore from 3 ozf.in to 125 lbf.in, including compact FG Mini cleanroom models and high-vacuum-grease (HVG) versions. Every tool is a sealed, tamper-proof preset torque screwdriver meeting ISO 6789 (±6%).
FG-CR or FG-CR-HVG?
| FG-CR | FG-CR-HVG | |
|---|---|---|
| Grease | Standard cleanroom | High-vacuum, low-vapour-pressure |
| Best for | General cleanroom assembly | Ultra-high vacuum, optics |
| Why | Low particle generation | Ordinary lubricants would outgas |
What makes it cleanroom-safe
- Low-outgassing coating — because the finish itself can contaminate an optics bench.
- Sealed internals — so grease stays inside the tool rather than on your product.
- Polyurethane sleeve — limits airborne contamination from handling.
- IPA-tolerant — wipe it down between shifts; however, never submerge it.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a torque screwdriver cleanroom-safe?
Low-outgassing coatings, sealed internals that stop grease leaking, and a polyurethane sleeve that limits airborne contamination. In addition, the tools tolerate IPA wipe-down — but they must not be submerged.
What is the difference between FG-CR and FG-CR-HVG?
HVG adds a high-vacuum, low-vapour-pressure grease for ultra-high-vacuum and optics work. In contrast, standard FG-CR suits general cleanroom assembly.
What torque range is available?
From 3 ozf.in (FG-25z CR) to 25–125 lbf.in (FG-125i CR).
Are cleanroom screwdrivers supplied calibrated?
Yes. We can supply new Mountz tools preset and calibrated on request. As a trusted Mountz distributor serving Singapore manufacturers since 2009, we also stock genuine spare parts.
